拉穆古镇

拉穆古镇是东非最古老、保存最完整的斯瓦希里人聚居地，并仍然保持着它的传统作用。这个镇用珊瑚石和红树林木材建造而成，以简朴的结构为特色，同时，庭院、阳台走廊、精心雕刻的木门为其增添了很多特有风貌。从19世纪开始，主要的穆斯林宗教节日活动都在这里举行，这里也已经成为伊斯兰和斯瓦希里文化的重要研究中心。

Lamu Old Town is the oldest and best-preserved Swahili settlement in East Africa, retaining its traditional functions. Built in coral stone and mangrove timber, the town is characterized by the simplicity of structural forms enriched by such features as inner courtyards, verandas, and elaborately carved wooden doors. Lamu has hosted major Muslim religious festivals since the 19th century, and has become a significant centre for the study of Islamic and Swahili cultures.
